The 95% Factor

[iron addict]

I receive tons of emails and PM’s, and questions from training clients who’s head is swimming in a sea facts and fiction regarding the how and why’s of weight training and nutrition. One thing that sticks out is a LOT of these guys are extremely concerned about the 5% stuff. And by that, I mean the details that all put together and put into active use will account for 5% or less of the actual results. Now that would be all well and fine if they were actually someone that is in need of that last 5%, but more often than not, these are guys that are beginners, or low intermediate level lifters that are so far away from even having a remote handle on their diet, training and rest that it is ridiculous to even think about this stuff. But think they do. Often to the point of so much focus on the little stuff, that the big picture items are totally lost in the background with perhaps the thought that it’s these little details that are holding them back instead of their faulty training and horrendous diet. Is this you?

What type of protein shake should I have? SHould I have it 15 minutes, or 25 minutes after I workout? Should I have some carbs before a workout, 15g or 32 g??? Should I take b6 to help me lose weight? These are the same guys who you see doing all these funky lifts on angles and weird machines, yet exclude the 3 basic lifts.

I know exactly what your talking about. When It comes down to it, all you have to do is eat and train hardcore. You don't need to be "spot on" with everything, unless you plan on becoming competitive. Most people will see tremendous results by just appllying the 95% as opposed to that 5%. To be honest, you don't even need protein shakes. They don't make an impact anywhere clost to a proper diet, not to mention all the other bullshit supplements. (gear excluded!)
